Welcome back, we hope you enjoyed the Easter holidays!

We are looking forward to term 5 and all the fun that it will bring as well as sunnier days. During our first week back we will be using chrome books and Ipads to teach computing skills. The children will learn how to create digital imagery.  We will also be going on a school trip to Aeropsace to launch our new enquiry 'How do we move around?'

Enquiry Learning

During the enquiry 'How do we move around?' we will be engineers! We launch the enquiry with a trip to Aerospace and will be having a workshop to explore concorde. Throughout the enquiry as engineers we will explore sliders, leavers and hinges and use them to create our own moving scene which we can then give to our nursery children. 

English

Maths

As mathematicians we will learn about weight and volume during the first two weeks and then move on to multiplication and division. Please look at the Video Resource Centre to look at the strategies and methods that we will use to teach the children. 

Common Exception Words

Please use your highlighted paper copy of CEW to ensure that the children are able to read and write all the CEW. If your child is able to read and write all of the Year 1 CEW then they will now be moved on to the Year 2 CEW. 

PSHE 

We move onto the 'relationships' jigsaw piece. As philosophers, children will explore families as well as what it means to be a good friend. We will also look at inappropriate and appropriate greetings and learn about the people that can help us. 

PE

The children now have 2 sessions weekly and will continue dance lessons as well as  personal and social skills through REAL PE.  

Phonics

We are consolidating the digraphs and trigraphs within phase 3 of our school phonics plan. The sounds we are learning are.
